STEVE Waywell has set a points target that he believes will be enough to give his Hyde United players a Nationwide North play-off place - but will not tell them what it is.

The Tigers boss, who saw his side draw 2-2 with Worcester City last week, is a firm believer in the adage of 'one game at a time' and consequently, has decided not to put extra pressure on his squad.

Last Saturday's draw keeps the Tigers third in the table with 54 points from 34 matches, two points ahead of sixth-placed Farsley Celtic who have two games in hand.

With Hyde not in action again until next Tuesday when they visit Nuneaton, Waywell is glad of the chance to give his players a rest ahead of their final eight games.

He said: "When you're playing well, you want to keep playing but the good thing about it is we can give the players a bit of a rest. We'll have a good week's training before Nuneaton, so they should be fresh going into that game.

"I talk about it (points target) to certain people but not to the players, it's important they just focus on the next game rather than the next three or four. If they do that, they aren't focused because the next game you play is the most important one.

"What we have got now is a fantastic belief in each other. They believe there's no team better than them and they're working temendously hard to get in that top five."
